Why You’ll Love Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
This Roasted Butternut Squash Soup is comfort in a bowl 🥣 . This soup is full of delicious and nutritious vegetables, and flavors that are so warm and hearty and totally satisfying. The color is perfection: vibrant and bright 🧡 orange, and I love the contrast with some toasted pumpkin seeds on top as well. The texture is spot-on, too. Utterly creamy and luscious, but it’s dairy-free! No cream or milk in sight. The thickness is simply from the veggies and you can certainly adjust the consistency depending on how you like it.
How to Prepare Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
🔥 First, preheat your oven to 425° F (220C) and then line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 🔪 Use a sharp knife to peel your butternut squash, cut off the ends, cut it in half and cut those halves in half. Scoop out the seeds, dice the squash into chunks and then add them to the baking sheet. 🍎 Next, cut the rest of your veggies and apple and then add them to the sheet pan. 🧄 Cut the tops off of 2 garlic bulbs, and place them on foil. Drizzle the tops with a touch of olive oil and then close up the foil to make a little package. 🧂 Now, toss the rest of the veggies and apple with salt, pepper and a nice drizzle of olive oil. ⏲️ Bake for 40-45 min. 🍲 Remove the pan from the oven and then add all the ingredients to a big pot on the stove. Squeeze the garlic out of its shell and put it into the pot as well. 🌀 Add in your stock and then transfer (in batches) to a blender or use an immersion blender to combine everything together. 🥣 Spread pumpkin seeds on top for added crunch and a beautiful presentation. Enjoy!
